BYRON’S BRIDGE

deuxiemepeau01/10/201714/03/2019Poetrybridge, bryon, Chains, criminals, crossing, imprisoned, prison, venice

I really like this poem, Damien. Yes, we all do need a good sigh now and then. 🙂

“a city sinking as the clinking

stops, pauses, bends

on Byron’s bridge of sighs

to say goodbye. “
